Welcome to the official online home of underground rock from Eugene, Oregon circa 1980-1995. Relive the time you spent in someone's damp, smelly basement while you were in college!

I first heard of Adickdid when I was talking to Robert Christie about the Pollen Count comp. I asked him if he'd heard it and he said "only the Adickdid track, I just play that one over and over" The band would later appear on my own cassette comp. Slaughter on 13th St. I never got to see them play, living outside of Eugene for most of the group's existence but the recordings certainly made an impression. Kaia would go on to release solo albums and play in Team Dresch and The Butchies. Deedee also played in Juned, The Teenangels and The Hindi Guns. Sara later played in Bella Low. Someone really should write in with a full history of the band or I guess I could stop being so lazy and just email them some questions. Anyway...

All-American Girl b/w Columbus (Imp Records, 1993)

The first single was released in 1993. The band had recorded a few tracks, I think with Mike Lastra at Smegma in Portland. Two of those tracks became this single, another one ended up on the Slaughter on 13th cassette-only comp, all the others are unreleased until now. Thank you to the band for allowing me to post them here. All tracks sourced from a cassette Sara gave me 22 years ago, man time flies!

The original lineup of Oswald Five-O only released one 7" ("A Love Supreme") but they recorded much, much more than that. A few tracks surfaced in 2006 on the excellent Jealous Butcher Records release "Nothing to Prove" which you should all immediately order if you don't already own. Diane and Robert gave me tapes of these recordings 22 years ago and, being familiar with Robert's inability to ever hold onto a Snakepit tape, I figured I'd better hold onto everything just in case nobody else did. Big thanks to Diane for permitting me to post these long lost recordings.

Rest in peace Joe and Robert, you are both deeply missed.

Released WAY after the band had split up by the good people at Jealous Butcher Records, this compilation came out in 2006.
